My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please contact GW for more information about this pet.

Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  



Looking for the best of all cat worlds? Keep reading! Maggie came to ARF pregnant. She
settled into her safe foster room and became besties with her foster mom. On the afternoon
of September 11, Maggie gave birth to a litter of black, gray, and tuxedo kittens. She spent
that evening caring for her kittens under the watchful eye of their foster mom. At bedtime,
foster mom went to sleep knowing that the four kittens were all nursing and Maggie was
taking great care of them. The next morning, foster mom went into their room and there was
a fifth kitten, an tiny tabby. Maggie had a surprise overnight baby! This was quite a surprise,
and let to his name, Tabby Surprise. Maggie is a young cat, estimated at only a year old. So
young to be a mom, but she was superb. Now that her work is done, Maggie is getting to be a
kitten again. She is very energetic and playful, but she is also a lap snugger. Tabby Surprise isthe most darling little thing. He is also very playful and snuggly. He is also sturdy enough tohandle it when mama wants to wrestle with him. Maggie is a fantastic young adult cat, and shecan continue to show her boy how to become a cat. Both of them will bring toys to you tothrow for them. They are the best of everything wrapped up into two tabbies who would loveto go to a forever home together. To see more about this pair, check out their foster mom’sInstagram @gloriawarshaw.

Both cats are are both micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  spayed/neutered, and litter box trained.

Their combined adoption fee is $300 (adult $135 + kitten $165).  If you are interested in meeting  Maggie & Tabby Surprise, please fill out our Online Application today!  

Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are  based in Wheaton, IL and conduct adoption events in the DuPage County area. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ 

Adoption appointments are scheduled based on the order of applications received, so submit your application early! Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/

As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F. Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. 

Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
